Per state regulations, GP of CT must do something with the check within 10 days of receipt…so must do so in a day or so. Vote of all four (4) officers: to decline the $1000 check from the Working Families Party (WFP) due to: the policy of the Central Committee of the GP of Ct is only to accept donations from individuals. In light of this policy, Chris will return the check to the WFP.

Each GP of CT candidate is free to set his or her own policy regarding such donations.
